The mountainside echoed with a silence broken only by the faint rustle of leaves. Iseul withdrew her foot from the edge, her body trembling with a mixture of relief and uncertainty. She took a step back, her eyes never leaving Hyun's gaze. He was a stranger, yet there was something about him that reached deep into the depths of her soul, resonating with her pain.
Iseul stared into Hyun's eyes, a mixture of confusion and gratitude swirling within her. She had never expected a stranger to intervene, let alone offer such genuine concern. Her voice trembled as she replied, her words escaping in a barely audible whisper. "Why? Why would you care about me?"
A gentle smile graced Hyun's lips as he stepped closer, his presence a soothing balm to Iseul's wounded soul. "Because everyone deserves to be cared for, to be seen," he replied, his voice resonating with sincerity. "I've the seen the breeze of sorrow and curse inside your heart more than you did, Iseul."
Hyun's presence seemed to envelop her, a shield against the storm that raged within. The realization that someone cared, that someone saw her worth beyond the surface, began to chip away at the walls of darkness that encased her heart.
They spoke of dreams and fears, hopes and regrets, and in those conversations, a profound understanding where the girl reveals her dreams of getting over her insecurity and ther aim of uncovering the mysterious about her childhood and Hyung REFUSED to tell much about him in an agressive manner suddenly and fearful mystery blossomed between them. Iseul discovered that Hyun carried his own burdens, his own secrets, hidden beneath a veil of calmness and enigma.
Fear flickered briefly across Iseul's face, her mind awash with tales of the monstrous creatures that lurked in the night. But as she looked into Hyun's eyes, she saw vulnerability and an unspoken promise. She chose to believe in the boy who had saved her life, who had offered her solace in a world devoid of compassion.
With her acceptance came a pact between Iseul and Hyun, a pact sealed in shadows. They vowed to support eachother even though he was hesitant and told her "i won't be here forever and will come and go unexpectedly" but he agreed to face the demons that haunted their pasts together, and to defy the curses that threatened to tear them apart.
Even at school, Iseul couldn't stop but think about the majestic vampire that saved her from ending her own life
